Vilnius7,449km
By sea from New York to Klaipėda, then by road to Vilnius.
Why buy in USA
- The largest used car market in the world, with models and specifications that are rare in Europe.
- Auctions sell many cars after accidents or insurance claims, so they often cost less than a repaired car.
- The history can be checked by VIN: owners, mileage, accidents and insurance claims.
- Customs duty (10 %) and import VAT (21 %) are calculated in advance, so you know the final amount before purchase.
What we check before buying
- The auction description and photos: primary and secondary damage, whether the engine starts
- VIN history: accidents, insurance claims, mileage
- The title type: clean, salvage or rebuilt
- Whether the car's specification allows registration in Lithuania
We do not inspect the car in person: we rely on documents, history and the seller or auction description.
